His Eminence was pleased to note this week that scientific is finally beginning to realise the natural element of our religion. We are all so used to hearing scientists disparaging the Catholic faith, and every other religion except that which prostrates before the goddess of reason, as pure superstition and so this news is very welcome indeed.
Scientific research taking place at Bristol University suggests that belief in a supreme being is a part of our being human. In other words, although I doubt they would go so far as to say this, it is a part of our created nature. If these findings and suggestions could somehow be scientifically proven then our Church's claims for why we have been created is all the more stronger, empirically that is.
We know, from our faith, that God has created us to be in a relationship with him. We are created with a yearning for him. As St Augustine writes, "Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee".
For the so-called men of learning and science I am surprised it took them so long!
